Yeah, I was already hoping for some promise of change seeing how the arc progressed but seems like we got the usual status quo with exception of Dragon's heartbreak.

Even if it's clear as day, we still latch on to tiniest slivers of hope to see if our beloved ship comes back. It never does though. Once friendzoned, always friendzoned.

Huh. All of the "it was just a dream" endings result in the characters waking up and realising that it was all just a dream, then finding out that it wasn't.

Don't know how I feel about this :/

Ladies and Gents ~ I present to you, The Tarot Sandwich - The only sandwich that can see your future with every bite.

@Xane - While that maybe true about Tarot being unfair, part of the issue with Tarot is that she may just like to be in-charge all the time since she really is someone that goes through life with little to no errors and is trying to go straight to the source of the problem ~ Discipline. Peanut may also be aware of this, but hasn't come up with a possible solution or just wings it like he normally does.

So I'm guessing this is the end of the arc. :(
I hope next arc we get more of King and Bailey (and some stubby-legged husky puppies :mrgreen: )
In the end of the strip when Tarot says "We'll see about that!" really is a bit shocking to me.
does anyone else think that Grape kind of looks like a dog in the 1st pannel

Me: Tarot don't give Peanut too much punishment! After all, you and Dragon were the one who set up both the date and the choice that caused Peanut to freak out!

Tarot: But Dragon was...

Me: I don't care if Dragon was the one who thought it up first! You went along with it!

Tarot: But what about that 'normal' jab Peanut said?

Me: Was is that bad of an insult? Heck, was it even an insult at all?

Hey Rick!

I get it. She's just ticked cause Peanut pretty much said her powers were weak.
*snrk*

You guys act like on moment of anger or sadness lasts forever.
She's mad. It passes. Big deal.
My have been metaphorically ear pinched for misunderstandings.
Oh well.


Also.

"[C]harming young lady" is a reference to King's curse in the last panel of this strip, presumably based on the word that King didn't say also being the generic term for a female dog (and, on an OOC basis, based on Rick wanting to keep the comic PG-rated :P ).
normally when king sweares its just gets cencerd

Like I, er, poemed.... She'll forgive him, I know. But she's entitled to be miffed at the 'normal' thing. For a bit.

Besides, she doesn't have an annoyed face in her panel and she's - sort of -talking about moving in together.

Welsh, I didn't realize that until you pointed that out!
She keeps throwing stuff at him he isn't prepared for.
I want you to choose, then I want to move in together.
I like Tarot, but she needs to calm down.

We don't see everything that happens in the characters' lives. They dated while the story was focused on something else.

He said something that offended her when he was too in distress to sugarcoat it. The fact that he said it suggests he actually thinks she's weird deep down. Being offended does not make her maladjusted.

I take it most of the people demonizing Tarot have never been in relationships. :P

Just wait until she starts bringing up things he said three years ago and has completely forgotten.

Then you'll know it's a real relationship.

Of course given Tarot, she'll bring up things he hasn't done yet as well.

In the end, we never found out what the "protocol" in this arc's title was, or why the title was written in all caps. I can live with that, though.

Maybe by "normal" he was actually trying to say "average", as in, he thought she was becoming like every other non-supernaturally-powered dog?

So Max and Grape get really comfy while Tarot gets to vent! Poor Peanut, he knew it was a mistake as soon as he said that...

She will make cookies! Cookies make everything better! And up until the dog house, it sounds like a decent date!

Peanut's face is just perfect.
